Trucking Market Update - Week Beginning March 3, 2025

March 04, 2025 • FTR | Avery Vise • Episode 303

In this week’s episode of FTR’s Trucking Market Update podcast, we review some striking data reflecting how the treat of tariffs has affected international trade and examine what happened with the for-hire carrier population in February. We also address a couple of key indicators of the manufacturing sector and data on consumer spending, retail inventories, and sales of new homes. Plus, we recap the week in diesel prices and the spot market for truck freight.

The Trucking Market Update is hosted by FTR’s Vice President of Trucking, Avery Vise. As this information is presented, you are welcome to follow along and look at the graphs and indicators yourself by downloading the presentation.
